As we age, one of the most noticeable changes in the face is the gradual loss of volume. Hollowed cheeks, thinning lips and sagging skin can leave us looking tired or older than we feel. For many NewBeauty readers, dermal fillers have become a go-to solution for turning back the clock—subtly and naturally—by restoring lost volume and redefining facial contours.
In a recent survey,* readers shared how filler treatments have helped them look and feel their best. One 44-year-old reader summed it up simply, saying she loves filler for “filling in lost volume and lifting sagging skin.” Another reader, 57, noted that filler does more than just add fullness: “It enhances the skin texture and give it more volume.” At 49, one reader shared, “I liked the slight extra volume, lifting my cheeks,” while a 61-year-old added that filler treatments help her “fill out my lips and add volume and definition.”
For many, the appeal of filler lies in its ability to restore what time has taken away without dramatically altering their appearance. As one 51-year-old explained, “As I am aging … I have lost volume in my face… fillers have provided me with a natural looking fullness.” Another reader emphasized this point, saying, “I love how fillers help me maintain volume. I didn’t want to change my face; I aim to maintain it to age gracefully. I like how you can use a tiny amount to make a big impact.”
Several readers in their 50s highlighted how filler can target specific areas that lose volume with age. One 54-year-old said she likes being able to “replump areas that have lost volume,” while another shared that filler “restores volume immediately” and helps with “lifting sagging skin.” A 47-year-old reader echoed this sentiment, saying, “I get them to restore volume to my old lips!”
For some, the benefits go beyond volume alone. As a 62-year-old reader put it, “It definitely makes my face appear more youthful with less lines and wrinkles and sagging.”
For many women, fillers aren’t about changing how they look—they’re about restoring what’s been lost and aging on their own terms. Because every face (and filler!) is different, a board-certified practitioner can help determine which filler will best match your needs.
